1964 Austin Healey 3000 Series 3 BJ8

The “Big Healey”, as it is often known, has long been called the last of the true English Sports cars. They proved themselves successfully in competition, both racing and rallying over the years, and their success has never diminished.

A good Healey is a true joy to own, and this one is absolutely superb. The car underwent a total nut and bolt rebuild back in the mid nineties. The bills and invoices in the history file that comes with the car highlight the simply amazing amount of work that was undertaken to bring this car up to the condition that the then owner felt it deserved. It was taken apart, and slowly rebuilt by a much respected company and has been used very little ever since. In fact it looks like the car has only covered around 8000 miles since it went back on the road in 1996.

The history file that comes with the car has bills invoices and receipts for work done at that time for around £22000, so that was a seriously significant amount of money for a restoration at that time. Everything about the car has been done correctly, and it drives absolutely superbly.

The Work done includes:
Alloy Wings all round
Engine rebuild including new pistons, timing chain etc,
Stainless Steel Exhaust
Full Brake system overhaul
Full Suspension overhaul

The list is simply endless. With over 100 invoices detailing the work that was done, but more than that, it’s been maintained properly ever since too.

If you’re looking for an Austin Healey 3000, you will struggle to find one better in this simply excellent condition for only £49995. So go on, treat yourself, you know you’ve always promised yourself one!
